I think going too wide in grip for pullups is a misconception. You'll reduce your range of motion. Keeping your grip slightly wider than shoulder width and really concentrating on using the lats and not the biceps is going to work better. -

when doing lat pulls down, make sure you squeeze and hold for a second. You really want use those lats instead of forearms, biceps, and momentumComment

I have been doing an upper body/lower body split lately, supersetting chest and back. My typical workout:
1. Superset a) chest press (switch between flat and incline) and rows (switch between DB and cable)
2. Superset a) weighted dips and b) weighted pullups
3. Superset a) DB shoulder press and b) cable pullovers (or similar)
4. Superset a couple of BB curls and skullcrushers
5. Finisher - superset to failure of a) towel pullups or commando pullups and b) diamond or pike or regular pushups with elevated feet.
That's it. I don't do much arm isolation stuff. I feel arms get hit pretty well with the other compound exercises and my strength keeps going up.Comment

t-bar rows for thick lats
or if your lower back is shot
on the smith machine lower the bar lie underneath and do a sort of reverse push up pulling your self up to the bar keeping body straight.
dumbell rows also help to buildComment
